You know when a gas station/fast food restaurant/bank opens up right next to the competition? The same is apparently true of politicians. The Gillibrand for Congress campaign will open a new office on Route 9 in Halfmoon, almost directly across the road from the Treadwell for Congress headquarters.

The Gillibrand received permission last night from the Halfmoon planning board to move into 1694-96 Route 9, former home of the Iron Age Work Shoes store. Treadwell opened an office in the Shoppes at Halfmoon in May, moving most of his operations there from the Saratoga Springs office. The campaign will soon have offices in Queensbury, Columbia County and Dutchess County, according to spokesman Peter Constantakes.
